I didn’t know it was because I was drunk or just jealous, but I kept saying, “Dominic has a mild case of germophobia, so he will never let me eat in his car. I envy you, Courtney.”

“No, it’s not like that, Lucinda. I bought a candy apple for a returning gift from the hospital. She didn’t eat here,” Dominic explained.

Then Courtney looked apologetic and said, “Lucinda, Dom and I have known each other since we were kids. We’re like siblings. Please don’t be jealous because of that.”

“Yeah, you know, I only see Courtney as a sister,” Dominic continued.

I just nodded my head and decided to sleep along the road.

The next morning, I went to the market to buy daily necessities while looking for soup for my hangover. Well, it actually didn’t hit me that hard since I had a werewolf fast recovery, but I just wanted to clear my mind.

Just when I finished my meal, Dominic sent me a message.

[Dominic: Where are you going without preparing my clothes first? I have an important meeting today.]

I used to prepare everything for Dominic.
